Hearing the voice, Ji Ran turned to look at him, with some worry in his eyes.

After all, he was a ghost, and she felt somewhat uneasy telling others his name.

But he shook his head slightly at her, indicating that it was okay.

"Oh," Chi Tao finally realized that the man opposite was answering her question. Without thinking, she continued to ask:

"Mr. Qi, right? What field do you work in?"

"Tsk! That's enough!" Ji Ran interrupted again, a little annoyed: "You're here to check the household registration so early in the morning?"

Chi Tao gritted his teeth and looked at her, wishing he could jump up and hit her on the head twice! He was doing this for her own good!

The man raised his hand and stroked the back of Ji Ran's head lovingly, "It's okay, Ranran."

Ji Ran's heart trembled, he turned to look at him, his eyes became soft.

Chi Tao was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

He could touch Professor Ji's head casually?! And he even called her "Ran Ran"?

This is too sweet!!

And Chi Tao had never seen the woman in front of him show such an expression in his life, so gentle and cute.

It’s so cute!!!

It's all over! At this point, she had to admit that Xiao Jiang was completely hopeless.

I'm sorry Manxi, she has changed sides.

Today, this little girl actually has everything she needs. She only lacks someone who can be truly accepted by her and have the opportunity to give her love and make her happy.

Anyway, so far, only this man has done it.

He really made Professor Ji happy and blessed from the bottom of his heart.

Her innocent and pure smile cannot be bought with any family background, right?

Never mind, I’ll understand it slowly later. I’ll bow to you first as a token of my respect.

"By the way, Professor Ji, we have to reschedule the discussion meeting. President Jiang and reporter Mo are waiting for your reply." Chi Tao suddenly remembered the important matter.

Ji Ran was stunned, then he remembered what happened yesterday, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his eyes for the first time.

"It's all right. Let's see when it's convenient for them." It was rare for Ji Ran to speak in such a polite tone.

Chi Tao almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but turn her head and secretly glance at the noble and handsome man opposite her.

Damn, the power of love is so terrifying that it can actually make this piece of shitty EQ become humble and polite!

Ji Ran suddenly seemed to realize something and asked:

"Reporter Mo?"

"Oh, yes, it's the beautiful reporter from yesterday. Her full name is Mo Yilan, I think." Chi Tao replied, and then sighed.

"I asked around yesterday and found out that she is the next top actress at Central China Television. Nowadays, beautiful young girls are more amazing than the last."

How come Chi is the only one who is a idiot?

Hearing this, Ji Ran's eyes flashed with some meaning, and he lowered his eyes and smiled.

"But why does she also know that your name is Xiao Leng?" Chi Tao couldn't help but become confused again.

Ji Ran raised an eyebrow, "I don't know."

She just felt that the person had already started a new life and that the fact that he had once been an orphan was too private to be revealed by an unrelated person like her.

Qi Mu understood what was going on. He turned around to look at his girl, but his eyes met hers unexpectedly.

She knew, he knew.

Chi Tao, however, was completely confused. If she didn't know, then she didn't know. Why were the two of them suddenly showing off their love?

However, when thinking of the research project, Ji Ran suddenly fell into deep thought.

After the press conference, follow-up research will have to be carried out. The first challenge is to find Qi Mu’s bones in order to extract DNA.

How should she explain to Chi Tao and her research team at that time, about the skeleton that was from more than 20 years ago?

If it was just the team, she could still fool around. But Chi Tao couldn't, because she had met Qi Mu... so sooner or later she would know the fact that Qi Mu was no longer alive.

Ji Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at Chi Tao, thinking that she was the person he trusted the most.

Rather than waiting for her to find out when she is unprepared and then be frightened to the point of losing consciousness and letting the cat out of the bag...

Why not just confess to her now, right here in the middle of nowhere...

Chi Tao, however, felt confused by her stare and felt a little uncomfortable.

"You..." what?

Before she could finish her words, the little girl turned her head and looked at the man next to her again. The two seemed to be communicating something, but neither of them said a word.

Chi Tao looked at her brother-in-law in confusion again, only to see that he looked relieved, as if he had accepted some fact. He smiled gently at the little girl and nodded slightly.

Damn, this man is so handsome that she can't take her eyes off him!

No wonder he was so obsessed with the little girl, it's understandable.

But...she always felt something was strange.

What's so strange?

"Ahem...I have something to tell you." Ji Ran turned around and spoke to Chi Tao.

"What?" Chi Tao answered without hesitation.

But her eyes were still looking at her handsome brother-in-law, trying to find something that made her feel strange.

"Ahem... Just, you don't have a heart disease, right?"

"No, why are you asking this..." Chi Tao, who was originally a little confused, was suddenly stunned when he turned his head.

Then, her expression suddenly became extremely panic-stricken, and her whole body instantly became stiff. She stared at Ji Ran with wide eyes, her lips trembling and turning pale:

"Ji... Professor Ji!!... I... want to go... to the bathroom. Please accompany me! We can talk while we walk!"

Ji Ran was stunned, and frowned secretly when he saw Chi Tao's face turned pale in an instant.

Could it be that...she discovered something?

She turned her head with some confusion, but only saw Qi Mu smiling at her indifferently and tapping the table with his fingers.

Ji Ran received the signal, looked down, and immediately understood.

It turned out that the strong sunlight was shining in from the window at the back, but there was only her shadow on the table.

Oops, that's embarrassing.

Ji Ran took a breath and said:

"Ahem... well, that's what you see."

“Huh???” Chi Tao looked at her in shock.

The next second, Chi Tao's eyes rolled up and this time he really pouted.

"Hey!" Ji Ran quickly stood up and walked around the table to check on her condition.

The pulse was a little rapid, but still steady.

At this time, Qi Mu also came over and squatted in front of her.

"It's okay, she just fainted." Ji Ran looked up at him, but saw the guilt between his eyebrows. She said softly with some heartache:

"it's not your fault."

Qi Mu's eyes trembled, and his gaze was as soft as clouds, but the guilt in his heart did not ease much.

He leaned over and prepared to move her friend to the sofa, but Ji Ran immediately stretched out his hand to stop him:

"I come!"

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, then he caught a glimpse of a hint of sour possessiveness on the girl's face.

He couldn't help but smile, nodded, and stood up to make way for her.

Ji Ran pulled up the woman's arm, put it on his shoulder, and dragged her up from the ground, dragging her towards the sofa in the living room without much effort.

Looking at Chi Tao who had fainted, sweat broke out all over his forehead.

Even though Ji Ran was worried, he still complained.

"How cowardly."

Hearing this, Qi Mu raised his eyebrows helplessly.

Is it possible that she is just too brave? This reaction is perfectly normal.

"Of course...I'm sorry."

She scared her friend again today.

Even though he was determined to be with her, he still messed things up when trying to fit into her life.

Ji Ran's heart skipped a beat. She walked up to Qi Mu, reached out and hugged him tightly, turned her face to his chest, and said softly, "I'm not full yet~"

A strong warm current suddenly rushed into the man's heart. He couldn't help but raise his hand to embrace his beam of light, touched her head, and smiled softly: "Accompany you."

Ji Ran raised his face with an innocent smile and nodded softly.
